Hughie Fury is the real deal!

[Grimmer]

Hasn't been pro for a year yet, and last night scored his 13th win by KOing a guy Deontay Wilder and Andy Ruiz Jr only fought last year (Wilder has been pro for 5 years). And although it speaks more about Wilder's progression and matchmaking it was a mature performance from a 19 year old who hasn't even been pro for a year. He looks like he's been a pro for years, his power was quite devastating.

Check it out, Greer takes quite a battering and gets KO'd in the 2nd

he fought a guy who gets a family VIP discount at your local macdonalds./end thread

He'd take out David Price I feel.

I agree.

He looks well-rounded and has a decent chin. I hope they don't rush him along; he's still young. He'll get some great sparring now, with Eddie Chambers in the Fury camp.

Aye I don't think he needs to fight as many times as he did last year as long as the fights he does get are of benefit to him, against opposition which is gradually improving. I think he'll be ready for a British/Commonwealth title by the end of the year, although Hearn has said the same about Joshua.

Tbf he'd beat McDermott now, IMO. But like you said, no need to rush him.

Looks great when the other guy is a punching bag and doesn't throw punches. He does has potential though.

[Citizen Koba]

So far, all I can really say about him is that he looks better than cuz Tyson.
His opponents so far don't tell us much, and right now I'm more impressed with his Youth World Amateur gold than anything he's done as a pro (not least cos many of his opponents have actually been paid by the Furys themslves).

Don't get me wrong, I think the kid has potential, but IMO it's way too early to be saying he's the real deal.

In another year, I'd pick him to beat Tyson Fury, lol

[gingerbreadman]

I'd put him in against Rogan if they can get him, then target a British title tilt

One of Hughie's spots burst on his back. lol
